Chapter 450
“It’s nothing. I heard it wrongly.”
She walked to the side and continued the phone conversation with William.
Tell me everything.”
He responded, “I’m not talking about you, Bonnie. Someone is out to kill your other identity, Ms. Bonita.” Her face grew grim immediately. After all, this was a serious matter. She couldn’t afford to take it lightly.
“Do you know who put up the quest?”
1 don’t have the specifics yet, but there’s one thing I’m sure of–they’re not from Arvandor.”
She started to analyze the situation.
“If someone’s after Bonita’s life, that means the latest nanomaterial I developed recently has threatened them. It could be Auguste Ludovici. He has the same prestigious standing in the world of scientific
research as I do.
‘He has been the most prestigious figure in the field before my arrival. As far as he was concerned, I dethroned him and took his place.
‘Moreover, the latest nanomaterial I developed has all but solidified my standing. I still remember when I first met him. He might’ve been exceptionally talented in the field, but he was so petty and spiteful that he couldn’t share the glory with anyone.”
“You have to listen to me and stay safe, Bonnie. I’ve told Jim about this and asked him to ensure no harm) comes to you. Hey, how about I send Jacques to protect you too?” William asked.
“Don’t do that. You’re just giving away my identity to them if you send Jacques to my
side.”
“You have a point. Well, what are you going to do? You can always hole up in the SR League. You’ll be safer here than anywhere else.”
“I appreciate it, but that’s not what I want to do. First of all, I don’t want to leave my nation. I also don’t know who’s coming after me or when they’ll do it. If I go into hiding, I will lose my freedom.”
Before he could say anything, she added, “Alright. I appreciate that you’re concerned about me, but I handle myself. Also, are you forgetting that I have Jim watching over me?”
Talking about Jim made her have a headache at once.
‘Now that he knows about this, he won’t remain calm. I just know he will ignore my orders to keep his
distance from me.‘
“I see you’re back at the village too, Bonnie.” Jim feigned surprise and walked toward her.
She held her forehead, trying to rub her headache away. ‘Speak of the devil.”
“Gee. You’re here, too, Ivor.”

The man in question stared at Jim.
“What are you doing here?”
“A relative of mine stays here. I decided to drop by and visit her. Bonnie knows about this too. Why? Didn’t she tell you about it?” Just like that, he threw the ball into Bonnie’s court.
She gave him a frustrated look before she faced Ivor and started explaining. “It’s true. He did have a
relative here in this village.”
“Oh. That’s great. I’m curious, though. Just how close are you to your relative to be visiting them during the holidays? Don’t you have a hometown of your own?” Ivor pressed.
Anyone would know he was probing Jim.
“My hometown is too far away. As you know, I’m Ms. Bonita’s bodyguard. You could say that I’m the only
back. person who’s keeping her safe. So, I can’t always apply for off days and go
“It just so happens that this relative of mine is ill. So, my parents called and asked me to swing by and check on her on their behalf.”
Jim’s answer was flawless, but it made her headache worse.
‘He made all of this up. All it takes is for Ivor to investigate a little and he’ll know that Jim doesn’t have a relative staying here.”
“You can ask Bonnie about it if you don’t believe me. Am I right in saying that you’ll trust what she says?” Just like that, he threw the ball in her court again.
